Hi everyone,
I'm running Mandrake 8.2 Linux if that's relevant at all.
I recently built 21.5.13 in order to attempt to solve problems I was
having with tramp-mode hanging in 21.4.x. The good news is that, for
some reason, tramp-mode doesn't hang in 21.5.13 (see
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/2003-05/msg00006.html) like
it does in 21.4.x.
The bad news is that, M-x term RET /bin/bash RET gives me a terminal
that seems pretty broken. In particular, newlines don't seem to be being
read from the inferior process correctly, or something along those lines
("ls" from the bash prompt yields a series of incorrectly broken lines,
similar to what you'd see if your stty settings were wrong).
This isn't particularly surprising to me, as I realize that we're
talking about a beta here, but I'm in a position where I'd really like
(read: *need* ;) to have a working tramp-mode *and* a working term-mode,
in a somewhat stable XEmacs environment. For the life of me, I cannot
seem to obtain a build that will give me all of the above. :(
So, I'd like to know if anyone has some ideas as to what might be going
wrong? I'm more than willing to contribute to fixing these issues if I'm
capable, but I'm a mere elisp dabbler and up until now I've never had
much reason to dive into the code base -- hence, I'm not sure where to
start.
Thanks in advance,
-j
